As a sheet metal fabricator, you know the importance of producing high-quality, safe, and functional metal products. A deburring machine can help you achieve these goals by removing sharp edges, burrs, and other imperfections from your sheet metal parts. ARKU deburring machines use various methods such as grinding, sanding, or brushing to remove any imperfections from your laser-cut and plasma or flame-cut sheet metal parts, resulting in a smooth, safe, and functional edge.
Burrs on metal parts will impact the quality of the product and reduce the lifespan of machines and tools. In manual deburring, employees deburr and edge round the material edges via handheld angle grinders. Yet, deburring by hand takes a lot of time. A modern sheet metal deburring machine removes burrs four times faster compared to working by hand. Hence, the investment in a deburring machine is quickly paid off.
Deburring generally refers to more than simply removing burrs. The complete process of sheet metal deburring often includes rounding edges of the parts as well. Because the grinding tools also process the surface or cutting area (whose thickness may vary depending on the procedure), these effects are generally also considered in the machine deburring process.

Deburring machines reliably remove any burrs left on the parts and help to ensure that the downstream processes function smoothly. The complete process of sheet metal deburring often includes rounding edges of the parts as well. Because the grinding tools also process the surface or cutting area (whose thickness may vary depending on the procedure), these effects are generally also considered in the machine deburring process.
Grinding processes are primarily used to deburr sheet metal parts, sheets and plates. Today, many companies rely on automated deburring. Modern deburring features various processing units that can be outfitted with a variety of abrasives. Depending on your requirements, different machine(s) and/or configurations are available to achieve consistently high quality results necessary for your fabriaction purposes. This is how modern deburring machines produce optimal edges.

For sheet metal workers, the ability to deliver deburred sheets is a quality indicator these days, and a must-have in order to be able to compete. Modern deburring machines deliver burr-free parts that integrate seamlessly into further processing steps.
We have outlined the most important deburring processes and techniques below:
Deburring
Edge rounding
Oxide removal
Surface finishing
Slag removal
Too often, sharp, pointed material remains attached to part edges after the sheet metal has been cut. These remnants are called burrs. During deburring, all of the protruding material residues are removed from the edges of the part. You can deburr sheet metal by hand or mechanically. The prime advantages of mechanical deburring with a deburring machine are consistent high-quality results with consistent repeatability.
Deburring itself produces a secondary burr with a sharp metal edge. In most cases, the deburring machine processes the surface of the metal edge. In mechanical deburring, the edges are always rounded. Thus, sharpness is removed, and reliable coating/painting is ensured.
For heavy plate, this is an important job. Slag unlike burrs is easily chipped off, but takes a toll on the deburring tools. That is why it is recommended to use the slag hammer before deburring.
An oxide layer forms along the cutting edges if the sheet metal parts are cut using oxygen. The layer has different properties than the base material and may thus cause trouble when it is further processed (for example during painting or welding). Designed to process the edges, a deburring machine can remove oxide layers as well. Depending on the model, special oxide brushes may have to be installed.
As a matter of design, a deburring machine also processes the sheet metal surface. If the result is not as desired or should be according to a specific surface finish, a separate unit for surface finishing can be integrated into the deburring machine.
The double-sided automated deburringprocess is a very economical procedure. In one pass, the processing speed is doubled, thus reducing your unit costs by over 50%. In addition to twice the speed, two-sided processing also reduces your manual efforts enormously. Especially since there is no need to flip over and re-insert the parts.
For the single-sided deburring process, edge rounding units can be equipped that achieve ideal edge rounding results up to 2 mm. Single-sided machines with their ability to process the largest possible part spectrum, especially when it comes to minimal part sizes, offer operators high flexibility. Such mechanical flexibility is extremely advantageous for laser job shops.
